Seventeen-year-old Jamal Alexander Barry Calbert of Stockton was fatally shot on March 5, 2025, near Dovewood Street and Lost Meadow Lane in the Valley Oak District. Officers responding to reports of gunfire found Calbert inside a garage about 1:45 a.m. with at least one gunshot wound to the torso; he was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries.

Several people were inside the residence when the shooting occurred, and the neighborhood was cordoned off for hours while investigators collected evidence and interviewed witnesses. Authorities say detectives have conducted interviews but no arrests have been made and no suspect information has been released. Calbert’s grandmother, Nora Roots, said he was a typical teenager who enjoyed life and left behind a one-year-old child.

Stockton Police continue to investigate; anyone with information is asked to come forward. Does anyone in the Valley Oak area remember hearing or seeing anything that night?
